Term 4 Homework Tasks Weeks 5,6,7,8 Mathletics:
Complete two tasks every night through the week.
Each week you should have completed no less than 8 tasks. When you finish a whole strand then have a go at the test.
If you find anything too difficult go to the help section and use the examples on how to do the tasks.
Start from the easy examples and work your way through to the harder examples. Keep doing the examples until you understand what to do.
If you still don't get it ask Mrs Searson or Mrs Weston the next day for help.
After you finish each task check your results. If you score below 90% then do the tasks again. The tasks change but you are still practising the same skill.
Each morning we will be checking who has been on Mathletics and your results.
The more you practice the more you will improve in your maths.
